Title: Gas turbine combustor by-pass valve device
Inventor: AKAGI KOICHI
IPC: F01D17/10
Filed: 1999-07-30
Abstract: Gas turbine combustor by-pass valve device for opening and closing by-pass valve is improved to control uniformly air supply into combustion area for appropriate combustion. Drive shaft 21 for opening and closing driven by-pass valve 20 is provided in turbine casing 010 where outside obstruction is located to interfere with projecting drive shaft 09. The driven shaft 21 is made in short length to be provided in the turbine casing 010. Adjacent main driving shaft 23 for opening and closing main driving by-pass valve 22 is provided adjacently to the driven shaft 21. Link mechanism 26 is provided between the adjacent main driving shaft 23 and the driven shaft 21, thereby rotary movement of adjacent main driving shaft 23 driven by outside drive means via the drive shaft 09 is transmitted to the driven shaft 21 and thus to the driven by-pass valve 20. Thus, partial drive shafts 09 are made shorter not to project outside of the turbine casing 010 to interfere with outside obstruction and still all the by-pass valves 08 provided along circumferential direction of the turbine casing 010 can be operated to be opened and closed uniformly.

Title: Computer system and method for electronic commerce incorporating multiple wholesale supplier, multiple fulfillment centers and retailer remuneration
Inventor: O'BRIEN PETER T
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 1999-09-29
Abstract: An electronic retail method and computer system or e-Commerce Web application for facilitating online purchasing by a plurality of customers, involving at least one wholesale supplier, one fulfillment center, and a plurality of bricks-and-mortar retailers. This method and system avoids the "cannibalization" of the traditional wholesaler-retailer distribution channels by remunerating a retailer for any online sales made to customers within an agreed radius of the retailer's bricks-and-mortar store, in exchange for the retailer providing pre or after sales support should it be required. The method expands on the existing methods of purchasing goods and services via e-commence by offering on one Web portal, goods and services from many wholesale suppliers and manufacturers on a single integrated electronic catalogue, and by processing orders for multiple items, that may be fulfilled by more than supplier or fulfillment center. The application obtains the customer's postal code (zip code) early in the purchase transaction session, and displays a local retailer's address and promotional information for each item viewed. The business model has been named e-Commerce in Partnership TM

Title: Method for sterilizing an endoscope
Inventor: FOURNIER STEPHANE
IPC: A61L2/20
Filed: 2000-02-11
Abstract: A method of sterilizing a hollow endoscope having a conduit is disclosed. An end of the endoscope conduit is connected to a sealed vessel such that the endoscope conduit is in fluid communication with the sealed vessel. The endoscope is placed in a sterilisation chamber and the chamber sealed. The sterilisation chamber is run through sterilisation cycles in which the pressure within the chamber is varied.  During the pressure variation within the sterilising chamber, sterilising gas is drawn from the sterilising chamber via the endoscope conduit into the vessel. During the pressure variation the inner surface of the endoscope is subjected to sterilising conditions in addition to the outer surface of the endoscope. In a preferred embodiment the sterilising conditions are provided for by ozone gas in the presence of a humid atmosphere of at least 95 % water saturation. The sterilization process is operatively simple and reduces the chance of human errors caused by false interpretation and handling. The ozone sterilization method of the invention requires substantially no aeration or cooling down of sterilized instruments so that they can be used immediately following the sterilization cycle. The present invention permits hospitals to reduce the costs associated with maintaining an expensive endoscope inventory.
